Day 826 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing Today’s game is Sonic CD. I had intended on beating it today but one level of Metallic Madness gave me so much trouble that I just decided a break was needed. It’s funny in retrospect even if frustrating. The first time I managed to clip into a box on accident somehow and got spat out at the bottom right before it crushed me. The second time I got hit by one of those exploding guys. Same thing for the 3rd. 4th I somehow clipped into the box again. 5th time I got to the end but saw a passage going left and got curious. I decided to follow it and it… spat me back out at the start. So I decided that was my cue to take a break. Backtracking a little bit, I like the race against Metal Sonic. Now that shit was cool. I’m not sure I remember any other Sonic games having a head to head race like this. I know Mania had the one where you need to throw missiles at Robotnik but that’s less of a head to head race and more just a “maintain speed” thing I think. It reminds me though, I need to go back and finish Mania. And despite it killing me a bunch, the mini mechanic was also kind of cool. I’m not sure what it did mechanically but it was cool. I wonder if it will be used again or not. Tomorrow I’m gonna for sure finish Sonic CD (or play something else). But definitely needed a break after that frustrating level. Definitely a skill I wish I had learned earlier in life.
